Evidence¶

Madigan 2020¶

Madigan, D. J. & Curran, T. (2020). Does burnout affect academic achievement? A meta-analysis of over 100,000 students. Educational Psychology Review. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10648-020-09533-1

q4 · i2 · quant-synthesis · r2

Robust variance random-effects meta-analysis of 29 studies reporting 89 effect sizes on burnout and academic achievement. The pooled corrected correlation was "rc+ = -.24, 95% CI = -.31, -.16", with small between-study heterogeneity (τ2 = .01).

"For total burnout (N = 96,169), analyses revealed a small-to-medium negative weighted mean effect size (rc+ = -.24, 95% CI = -.31, -.16)."
